I RECENTLY RECEIVED THIS ANTENNA AND INSTALLED IT ON MY MOBILE LAST NIGHT. MY MOBILE MOUNT IS A TRI-MAGNET MOUNT ON TOP OF MY SUBARU OUTBACK ROOF. I AM USING AN ICOM-7100 AND LDG TUNER BOTH OF WHICH ARE WELL GROUNDED TO THE CHASSIS OF MY CAR. MIND YOU, I HAVE TUNED THIS ANTENNA TO THE LOWEST OPERATING FREQUENCY ON 75METERS. AS SUCH WHEN I OPERATE IN THE PHONE PORTIONS OF THE OTHER BANDS, MY VSWR IS ANYWHERE BETWEEN 1:1:1 TO 1:5:1. THE MEASUREMENTS ON ALL BANDS JUST BLEW MY MIND SINCE I WAS UNABLE TO OBTAIN THE SAME RESULTS USING THE MFJ ANTENNA. SURE, THERE MAY BE OTHER PORTIONS OF 75M'S WHERE I GET A BIT HIGHER SWR, BUT, OVERALL THIS IS DEFINITELY A KEEPER. I MADE A CONTACT FROM LONG ISLAND TO SOUTH CAROLINA LAST NIGHT ON 75M'S APPROX 450 MILES AWAY AND RECEIVED A 55 - 57 WITH QSB. I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THAT BECAUSE I COULDN'T MAKE LONG DISTANCE CONTACTS LIKE THAT WITH BETTER CONDITIONS USING THE MFJ ANTENNA. THIS WAS MONEY WELL SPENT AND I AM DELIGHTED SO FAR WITH IT'S PERFORMANCE. ***WELL CONSTRUCTED GREAT QUALITY***
